Mag man,

The replacement cover is about 3/32 too wide and 1/32 too deep. Biggest issue is that it does not have enough depth in the height department by about 1 to 2 /32, so it won't lay down on the gasket

The original was a IH part.

Will start new thread for valve/compression issue.

sounds like an aftermarket cap, Sometimes they fit a little funky but work,just dont tighten screws to tight or they can crack.

Yes it was an aftermarket part (The coil cover) (that had the IH symbol embossed unit :evil: )

StaninlowerAl, thanks for the suggestion of McDonald Carb. They sent me a coil cover that fit.

Any thoughts about where to get #251534R1 the little springy washers for the coil cover? auto parts store?

Also does anyone sell #251534RI, the felt in the distributor gear cover?

I always punched out 2 out of gasket material . helps seal and gives a bit of cushion . I bought the punches I used from harbor freight they go from tiny hole to bigger hole, LOL I bought the new felt once and could never get it to fit right. I really dont think you need it unless ripped.

Thanks John.

I went with keeping the original felt.

The mag is now reassembled. New points, condenser, coil, coil cover, and gaskets. No engine to attach it to yet.

And Glenn, I will be getting a new seal. I gently took the old one out, and noticed someone had beat on it pretty hard to get it in (no gentle tapping was used!)

Thanks everyone for all the help!!

John
